Summer turned 15 this month
and finally got a cell phone.
She really wanted an orange one... fish fish got her wish.
Her cousins (Sophie, Cozi and Coco) made her feel loved and slightly embarrassed
bringing 50 "Summer heads" to school that day.
(Thanks to Cozi for texting me these 2 photos)
While we are on the subject of Summer....she made the freshman volleyball team this year
and we love watching her play. Go #2!
She plays back row defense.
She does a great job digging & passing...even with her eyes closed.
A fun fact about this team is that she has 3 Farnsworth cousins on it.
They get a lot of family support at their games.

A little brotherly love.
I don't think Cole gets much homework done at the games.
Moving on from volleyball...
Meg is a huge help in the kitchen and is developing a much greater skill set than her mother.
I think this was the time she made a berry cream topping for her cupcakes. They were a hit.
She is also constantly reading
She's the one that asked for a bookcase last Christmas. Those shelves are filling up.
I am trying to talk her into starting a book club with her cousins that love to read.
The only one that may read more than Meg right now is Isaac.
He is completely immersed in Harry Potter right now.
Isaac also just started volleyball and flag football.
Some good news.
The very strange single guy that lived next door to us-- moved out.
A family with 12 children moved in! Prayers are answered.
Isaac now has a buddy---Ethan.
We will still grab my nephew (on the left)
every chance we get, but it is so nice to have someone
right next door.
The day after the Homecoming dance, the MVT
girls starting asking for Winter Formal.
Once a few girls start asking .... it snowballed.
I liked this idea...probably because I got to help Cole
eat my favorite kind of ice cream.
After some digging around, we found the name of his date on a stick.
We are working on a way to answer her. Ike wants it to involve a fish, so he can get one for himself.
My poor kids just want anything to call their own.
Google+ Hangout
With half of my family living apart, we really miss getting together.
So we tried this out last Sunday night. There are definitely a few
bugs in the system, but overall it works great.
We each took a turn giving an update and answering questions.
I loved every minute of it.
